I thought this was a good episode. Ash got a new pokemon and Team Rocket was a bit more mature than they have been but they still blasted off ^_^. Also it felt like a bit more like the old pokemon and i loved Ash eating the pie then Roggenrola falling onto the table and stealing the pie. And we get to see Tepig again I havent seen the guy for a few episodes. i would like to see Snivy again I havent seen her for a while either

Their constant referral about taking over Unova in every episode they appear in is annoying too, as the viewers aren’t morons, but over all I’m happy..

Yeah I've found that too. Whenever they jetpack away, their conversations are so repetitive. Every time they jet pack away, they always say something on the lines of "Oh damn, we failed. But we will take over the Unova Region...IN THE NAME OF DA BOSS!"

But I'm not sure if the repetition is the dubs fault, or it's like that in the Japanese version. Could someone tell me?

"14 year old Hilda is a Pokemon Trainer with a secret: she can talk to Pokemon. After setting off into Unova, she gets involved in the affairs of Team Plasma and becomes acquainted with N, a mysterious guy her age. He may possess the exact same abilities as her but his views couldn't be more different. As her team grows in strength, numbers and bonds, Hilda finds a tangled web of mystery weaving around her and a daunting fate that she can't ever turn her back on..."

I liked Team Rocket's idea of using the Roggenrola as a source of energy and I was amazed that the roggenrola that Ash caught later in the episode stopped combined flash cannon of about a dozen Roggenrola. That was pretty insane

To begin, was it just me or did roggenrola sound like it was falling down a well sometimes when it spoke? Roggenrolaaaaaa

For the episode, I really enjoyed it. I thought it flowed well and I welcome the inclusion of team rocket. Speaking of team rocket, I thought their 'plan' was well thought out by using the roggenrola's energy core to produce a powerful beam. Actually, the only thing I can think of that caused the roggenrola to stop that beam is that it got a special attack boost from using flash cannon previously. Also, unlike some others, when the explosion occured I was chanting 'Please blast off, Please blast off' but alas I was disappointed.

Finally, the battles. I thought the first one was well thought out especially roggenrola using an object to deflect oshawott's water gun and this set tepig's heroics up well. The second battle was a generic capture battle but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. On a final note, roggenrola is already well developed battlewise with sandstorm, stone edge and flash cannon so for development we may see just an evolution and some personality development.

Good episode

Loves every part of pokemon, loves the movies, the anime and every game, so you could call me fan lol.

"My beautiful fresh and fruity creation has been ruined by DESTRUCTION TIME!"

I swear how Jason said that just made my day.

HAHA!!! I agree that scene was the best part of the episode! XD

Uh, to be honest guys I wasn't really feeling the name 'Roggenrola' when I first heard it. It's like they just took the quote, "Rock n' Roll" and put an 'a' at the end to make it sound like a name. Heehee Rock type = Roggenrola?! I love the pun they put there! xD

and another thing, was it a good idea for Ash to use pokabu again after it just got healed up from the pokemon center?! I know this is an anime, but I'm just curious :P

just one more thing, I promise! Does anybody miss the old team rocket motto? or maybe it's just me and haven't gotten used to the new motto yet? xP

It was nice seeing Ash actually try and catch the Roggenrola the first time not knowing that it wanted their help that felt real, as opposed to past episodes where they'd just go and help the Pokemon. Also enjoyed seeing an actual practical machine used by TR.

Well grats to Ash for getting a Roggenrola that puts his Unova Pokemon at 8, I just hope the writer's actually have Ash use them more than once, infact I wouldn't mind seeing a team comprised of Pokemon he caught after his sixth.

To be totally honest, this wasn't the most exciting episode for me. Although I am late to watch the whole episode, because I'm too busy to watch my shows on my DVR.

On the positive side, Roggenola is a pretty cool Pokemon in the anime. Plus, it's cool that Ash got one in the end. That makes 8 Unova Pokemon for him so far! (Not counting Pikachu).

I'm also excited for what the writers have planned for all the Pokemon that Ash has caught for the series so far. The rotating of them is a neat adaption, and it's keeping the show more active than having just 6.

I watched this episode last night for the first time, actually. I like Roggenrola, and look forward to it being around more. There were a few things in this episode that made me laugh, actually. Mostly Cilan and how he acts with food, haha.
